My own opinion is that any truly great student can succeed with any teacher, and any truly great teacher can succeed with any group of students. |

I can see the 2013 Kickoff broadcast now: "Hello Teams. Welcome back. Gracious Professionalism. Here's some homework. Here's the animation. Here's what the actual field looks like. RTFM. Peace." |

Also, I'm tired of the "FIRST is a simulation of the real world"-- it isn't. If the real world was like FIRST, there wouldn't be any need for this organization. |

I just want to see Aerial Assist again. Played on Lunacy regolith. With minibot poles. Which are on coopertition bridges. Is that too much to ask for? ;) |

The real key to drive team coaching is to tie your jacket around your waist. Got a couple championship rings that way. |

I got to talk with Mr. Flowers briefly last year. I told him that I had wanted to be part of FIRST since about 1980. It was nearly a quarter-century later when my son entered high school and I joined the TechnoKats as a mentor. |

Every single team in FRC has had a rookie season. All those... have stories. Some are sad, some are funny, some are inspiring - but all the teams have stories to be told... Each year is a chapter in the team's history book with stories to be told and shared. |

However, the skill of calculating things by hand and sketching by hand is something that we should continue to teach the youth (until my netbook can run Inventor :D) |

Probably planning on milling the bumpers out of solid pool noodle stock, too. Ever wonder how they drill that hole down the middle of pool noodles? ;) |

One of the Minbot inspectors at LA asked me how much a switch had to weight before it stopped being a "light" switch and started being a "heavy" switch. |

Look at the success of the Banebot's gearboxes this year. Cheap, light, small, and a lot of people are using them, even though their quality may be a bit questionable... Make a similar gearbox for a drivetrain (with a bit more robustness) and I think you've got a winner. |

Ancient doesn't necessarily mean bad, but ancient things do fall out of use, otherwise I'd be tapping this out in morse code or writing it in Latin. |

Last year we saved a ton of money by using a good bit of square tubing for the frame of our robot, square tubing is a lot cheaper then C channel. We get to use so much raw material that the cost should go down in certain places. |
